Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rupert Dailey grew up in the shadow of his cousin. His parents were killed when he was an infant, and he was sent to live with his aunt and uncle.He wasn't treated badly, just overlooked many times. As he got old enough, he started playing on the internet and learning to repair computers. He got quite good at it, actually.

Still, he was a shy, lonely boy. He'd just turned thirteen when his aunt and uncle gave him the first three Harry Potter books. He found them very comforting, and close to home. The boy wasmuch like him...sort of. He began wishing he was like Harry, with friends and magic. Harry had become his hero.

Towards the end of the third book, Rupert began to feel strange. His Chrysalis was happening, his changeling soul was waking up. Even though he was alone, instinct told him he needed to choose an animal. He chose the snowy owl, like Harry's own Hedwig. He blacked out for a bit then. When he woke up and saw himself in the mirror, he was shocked, then thrilled. Soon he found that his family could not see his real form.

After school one day he met a tall, stooped man with very long white hair and bear. The man had pointed ears, and at times seemed to forget what he was doing. He smiled when he saw Rupert, and bowed to him. When asked his name, the man replied, "Oh...a teacher. Just a teacher. A teacher for young ones who've found themselves changed. What is your name?"

Rupert was about to tell the man his name, but the man stopped him and asked him the name of his Fae self. Rupert smiled, and replied, "Harry...I go by Harry."

It's been two years, Harry has made a few friends among the Changeling community. He has learned a lot about his kith, and even picked up a few tricks. His teacher passed away last year, leaving him a golden dubloon, that when flipped could curse or shower good luck on the target.
